The fact that you've confirmed a wheel upgrade, verifies and defines it as a frankenbike. Also, that Avocet saddle wouldn't be OEM on a 1970, as Avocet didn't even exist in the early 1970s, let alone the probability of an Italian manufacturer specifying one. At least a couple of the Campagnolo parts are much later too. And it doesn't appear to be full Nuovo Record based on the pictures but it's hard to tell much from a non-drive side photo. Then again, the frame itself appears to be later than the claimed 1970 date. If you've got a $500 offer, I'd advise you to take the money and run.
